Marlon Brando refused to receive Oscar for Hollywood’s treatment of countries of origin

51
years ago

27 March 1973,

Marlon Brando refused to receive the Oscar for the treatment of countries of American origin. An Apache entrepreneur named Sacheen Littlefeather went up on the spot, who in his reading statement denounced that Hollywood criminalized the countries of origin. Despite the request of the actors and directors present at the event, he read the statement firmly. The AIM movement of the people of origin had been occupying the lands of Wounded Kne for days during the Oscar ceremony.

Nagore Irazustabarrena explains in this article a deeper fact: Oscar from Native American Peoples
